trading on-chain
Arrow Markets brings a new paradigm to options trading on Avalanche, combining centralized efficiency and on-chain transparency.
Our RFQ (Request for Quote) enables traders to request quotes from multiple market makers with a single click, providing a simpler, faster, and more secure trading experience.

A single numeraire is used to settle all contingent claims. This means underliers can be on-chain or off-chain.
Self-Custody
Versatile
Customize and combine options, call spreads, and put spreads.
The Technology Suite
The Arrow protocol implements pricing using an RFQ (Request for Quote) system with trusted market-making partners. Market Makers (MMs) seamlessly provide quotes for option contracts through an API. The creation and settlement of contracts occur on Avalanche's C-chain, and settlement is triggered by Chainlink Automation nodes.
LITEPAPEROur Team
The Arrow Research Group was founded in 2020 by Patrick Kiefer and Edward Mehrez. Both are financial economists by training. At Cornell's Initiative for CryptoCurrencies and Contracts (IC3) workshop in July 2020, Patrick and Edward were joined by Austin Liu and Preston Rozwood to produce a nascent version of the Arrow protocol.
